[@anonmyss]

I love how people are all such amazing drummers to let the world know how much they are not impressed. I think when it comes to music people get weird and competitive, even a little jealous. He's great... Best is in the eye of the beholder.

[@hende8445]

no its confusing when people who know and play drums to see this dude as the 'best'..if he was good no one would complain but the straight fact that there is questioning already proves that the title is misleading thats alll.not jelousy its just that people like you havent seen real good drummers.

[@danniwall4448]

Honestly if you want to see good drumming then search southern Cross schools drumming and you'll realize that he's not the best

[@edwardmarcell2494]

Look up Dramane kone bassidi kone zoumana dembele sidiki Camara. Those are solid drummers brotha man got drum skills definitely but the names I just mentioned are djembefola masters and teachers. Everyone who is a solid drummer is nice but it also depends on who the djembefola is taught by as well. And how they grow from what they were right don't ever judge because there are solid drummers and this brotha is one. I have been drumming since June of 1984 and I had teachers here and there but these last 22 years I have been learning by watching brothas that I mentioned as well as other djembefola masters to learn the rhythms and the history that goes with the rhythms.

[@stevesyncox9893]

There are valid criticisms in the comments, I see no jealousy. Your sarcasm is on point.

[@murokaitaro]

What you mentioned is a solid lit of great players. This dude is a drum circle level. Not a pro.

[@djscrudup895]

There needs to be an hour long loop of this

[@EricThomasHunterSweetland]

Best is a relative term. He plays bloody well that's a fact!

[@marquishalsell]

He's the best in his own way he's expressing true culture he's really good and I bet he's even more on fire now since he grew up they just not showing no more videos of him you can tell by looking at this that he was developing more skills then fr fr

[@edwardmarcell2494]

That's how it starts. There's a birth for everything and seeing how he is a student of not just the rhythm but also the history of the rhythm as well. Just liked I had mentioned in another comment can't just judge a person because of what they have learned at that point. Drumming is constantly evolving while learning growing into his or her own. I can only imagine how good he is now.

[@nomsadhlamini386]

This is too beautiful. it got me dancing some Afro Fusion in the lab LOL.

[@botsheloankhkhunou8951]

It’s 4 years ago. I hope you improved more. This is lit 🔥

[@Kevin96460]

this is more than music, he can tell stories of tribal fights and tribulations through the instrument. This is truly amazing,

[@nicolaslaurent4118]

Xpppppppppxx

[@Lawsonforrester09]

You don’t no this

[@spiritumspiritus6572]

He is the best in the world.

[@Azaroth66689]

I am way better... And I am far from being the best in the world.. lol

[@madera3650]

I did not know there are Djembe players in South Africa. I love the first rhythm

[@danniwall4448]

Ummmmmmm............ Search southern Cross schools drumming. All of the kids are from SA

[@JohnnyGuitaristOfficial]

This is very cool!! Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻🎶

[@ruaidhrigillen3075]

Bruh I remember playing all those rhythms back when I was 11 in school. Memories

[@mariolopez-ri8wd]

[@daleknight7433]

Awesome ❣️❣️

[@jimweiss2176]

This is a language created to communicate over distance from tribe to tribe, as well as preserving tribal history and imbedding it into their hearts. His involuntary mouth gestures reveal it as an ancient oracular, a way of downloading information directly into the tribal unconscious.

[@astarxks]

im the best teenage djembe drummer in VA , hands down

[@Ras1Roy]

I lost it at 1:47! WoW!

[@jtsmith3240]

Mogauwane Mahloele from Azania is the Best percussionist.

[@Cake_Doge]

hey can I use this video for a montage? great playing btw

[@Matemoshits]

Impressive

[@synchronic9724]

Love it

[@MrAmisto]

start by learning all 3 note's nice and clear. And a full size djembe would help as well.

[@CreatedbyJonah]

2:37 roll

[@MilitantExtremist]

djembe is from west africa!

[@olaniyanmadzimoyo3814]

What is this?

[@olivastallonechannel4444]

Great

[@fatheroffibereconomics]

I play all that

[@feelinghealingfrequences7179]

what a groove! lowest tension head i ever heard on youtube sounds wonky and warbley drummer has soul!

[@thabangmokhaola6228]

I'd like to challenge him one day

[@anuragekka317]

those speakers behind.

[@synzidadie3220]

This is a minor drum. Not djembe. Djembe is played in west African and his the Boss of drums !

[@adax5]

Le falta afinar el djembe que no suena bien... 😶 Pero bueno el muchacho tiene chispa , seguramente si sigue practicando llegara a ser muy bueno!

[@jasonstringer7701]

This is not djembe...you can get this in any park n any big city like the averadge playing...plus the instrument is not tuned properly and sounds awful

[@shelbourneking7068]

He plays well ,but to me it seems like his drum needs tuning .

[@anoyoikinobasuninottesaraba]

Why is he crying?

[@ExpertAdviceTV]

Why is he the best?

[@WASSOULOUPerc]

😂 111k To call it a djembe or this pseudo percussionist a djembefola is an insult to those who love, know and respect West African culture.

[@ThaaaFunk]

bad title wonderful drumming

[@gardeningadvicebysandieexn7225]

I worked for one better in Suffolk called Mark Trewartha

[@mariquevandermerwe8516]

kak en nogmals kak

[@arnowillekes7979]

😂😂😂 idd kak!

[@sweetlandish]

I guess you just to be there. He was much better in a band. I should have filmed him in the band.

[@denverado5594]

Clickbait

[@umuspumus]

title is misleading

[@resovoirdog100]

best?

[@wiardvdberg]

i own him

[@DiHooligan]

he good but not the best

[@joshuasy10]

Self proclaimed?

[@palmtemple]

Bongeni was the first and best. Sorry bud.

[@miroklima1862]

South Africa hasn't got much going for it I guess

[@TheBestUFC]

Wow..

[@officialpatetika7724]

not the best i think

[@jamierf668]

overwhelmingly average and the drum could sound better too; certainly there must be many many better in SA.

[@LadyMngwa]

Yeah, like you could play something better.

[@KippiExplainsStuff]

That was.. Underwhelming

[@joshuasy10]

Got board and skipped to 1:18 ... lol... but seriously tho i watched the whole thing he's not that good

[@arnowillekes7979]

Oh wow this is really bad playing and a hopeless sound, there are much better percussion players in SA! 😂

[@matthewsabessar7449]

You a good but your roll is shut

[@ONESNZER0S]

the rum sounds cheap and has no resonance. the drumming...well... ordinary.

[@mehuljuyal9142]

Do you really think that you are the best check out a young kid Mehul Juyal the best Dejembe player in the world
